AEW TV - 7/19 - 7/22 - Guts and Blood

[Perfectly Straightedge]

I hate to triple post but going to do it anyways. Something I never noticed that is really cool is that Dax has "Jay Briscoe" on his nameplate on the AEW World Tag Championship.

Did Punk and Christian have a singles match in WWE? They must have interacted on the ECW brand in 2007

FTR are caught in a really difficult spot with the MJF/Adam Cole pairing getting so over 

[MoS]

They guessed correctly that Punk would have a lot of fans in Jersey

Really good main event. Collision is a great watch

According to cagematch, they had two televised singles matches (Smackdown September 14th, 2010 and Smackdown October 25th, 2011) plus three house show matches during a UK tour in September 2010.

Starks appeared to still get cheered by the crowd after what Ian estimated to be around 100k in pyro.  I'm not sure the turn actually did anything for him one way or another, or if it was even a turn at all. He dodged the question about disrespecting Liger and didn't play that up at all. Punk was getting the heat. The crowd popped for the designer labels Starks was flexing, they want to root for him.  I don't know if the heel turn will stick and it depends on his next program.

He was definitely a heel in the match

Poor Rhett Titus. He went from being a solid midcarder/Tag Team Champion in ROH to working security backstage in New Jersey?! 

Guys behind us were remarking on this when Rhett came out for a match during the ROH taping later. "Wasn't that guy security?"

As a live show, with all the wrestling, Collision was a very easy watch. More breaks than Dynamite, but that's not always a bad thing (especially when you have a 5 year old in tow, like I did).

So I am definitely NOT regretting my decision to cancel my Honor Club subscription and stop watching the new Ring of Honor.

Supposedly, this past weekend in New Jersey they taped a couple of ROH matches before Collision aired, and then they did the live show. Then they decided to finish the ROH taping after Collision was over.

The final match was Dalton Castle and The Boys vs. “The Trustbusters” (Slim J, Jeeves and Sonny Kiss.) There is a hysterical clip circulating on Twitter, of the fans basically deserting the arena as this match goes on, and by the end, the place is practically empty.

And that is going to be one of your featured matches on the ROH TV show this week.

Athena deserves better and I'll gladly seek out everything she does that makes tape, but I wouldn't maintain an Honor Club subscription if its effectively become an Onlyfans for one wrestler.

I’m excited to see that match. Should be a lot of fun. Zack Clayton vs KM on the other hand sounds rough.

I believe that was a dark match and not an ROH match.

In that case, I am all for that ROH show. Whenever I get around to watching it next week. And I think Clayton has upside between his size and the JWOW (?) connection. Whenever you have someone with millions of followers tweeting about your product, it's a good thing. That's happened before. I just don't really want to see him at this stage and I know @The Thread Killer doesn't want to pay to see him.

Oh yeah, I'm not against taking a shot with him, but he's really not particularly good.

What I saw of this ROH show live was mostly fine, not much standing out. The six man title match was a neat matchup on paper that ended up being kind of a mess.

Thanks. THey really should have had more matches/interactions. Dunno what the WWE was thinking
